The Middle Eastern theater is, at best, considered a sideshow written from the western perspective. This book fills an important gap in the literature by giving an insight through annotated translations from five Ottoman memoirs, previously not available in English, of actors who witnessed the last few years of Turkish presence in the Arab lands. It provides the historical background to many of the crises in the Middle East today, such as the Arab-Israeli confrontation, the conflict-ridden emergence of Syria and Lebanon, the struggle over the holy places of Islam in the Hejaz, and the mutual prejudices of Arabs and Turks about each other. 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$vPersonal narratives, Turkish 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$zTurkey 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$zMiddle East 610 $aArabs. 610 $aArab?Israeli confrontation. 610 $aFirst World War. 610 $aGreat War. 610 $aHijaz. 610 $aJemal Pacha. 610 $aLebanon. 610 $aMiddle East. 610 $aOttoman Empire. 610 $aPalestine. 610 $aSyria. 610 $aThe Great War. 610 $aTurkish-Arab relations. 610 $aTurks. 610 $aWWI:World War One. 610 $aWorld War 1. 610 $aWorld War I. 610 $acollective memory. 610 $amilitary history. 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918 676 $a940.30917/4927 702 $aDeringil$b Selim$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810531603321 996 $aThe Ottoman Twilight in the Arab Lands$94017011 997 $aUNINA
